Solution

$P r e s s u r e i n s o l i d s = \frac{f o r c e}{a r e a} i n s o l i d s, f o r c e i s e q u a l t o t h e w e i g h t o f t h e o b j e c t . I n f l u i d s, p r e s s u r e i s g i v e n b y : P = h ρ g w h e r e h i s t h e h e i g h t o f l i q u i d i n t h e c o n t a i n e r ρ i s t h e d e n s i t y o f t h e f l u i d . g i s a c c e l e r a t i o n d u e t o g r a v i t y$
